Google said Wednesday it was cooperating with other 3 developers to develop a smartphone specifically
for the Indian Market, with the cost less than 100 dollars (73 euros)
It said that the smartphone would run on its Android operating system, opening up more business opportunities for the US giant through the sale of apps in the country. Google said the device would be able
to use dual SIM and come with FM radio
Also the start of the conference, the company demonstrated to developers how cars running the Android
Auto system would act like an extension of its mobile-phone software. Executives said drivers would be
able to navigate maps and send messages behind the wheel with the software being completely voice-enabled.
Fierce competition with APPLE
More announcements were sure to come, with Google seeking to directly counter Apple's recent push
towards digital health monitoring products and home automation.
The company has been trying to stay at the forefront of innovation, not shying away from launching sometimes unproven technologies that may take years to pay off, if at all. Recent examples have been the
firm's investment in driverless cars, Google glass and thinking thermostats.
